This practical book examines models of classroom management by discipline, system, and instruction. Written in an easy-to-read, clearly understandable style, it reviews the latest research on classroom management, addresses the current INTASC standards (nationally-recognized benchmarks for effective teaching), and offers readers a solid foundation for selecting one of the models presented to suit their own style and need. Case studies and scenarios place the reader into real classrooms with real learners, giving them a “snapshot” of these models in action. Coverage includes: classroom management as discipline (behavioral approaches, assertive discipline, positive discipline, and cooperative discipline); classroom management as system (reality therapy and choice therapy, discipline with dignity, building community, and classroom organization); classroom management as instruction (inner discipline, skillstreaming, conflict resolution and peer mediation, and judicious discipline); and developing a personal system (classroom management in a diverse society, and creating a personal system). An excellent resource for teachers of children of all ages and from all backgrounds; its comprehensive glossary and its coverage of INTASC standards makes this an invaluable reference tool.

Legally aligned with IDEIA and NCLB requirements, offers teachers of adolescent learners with special needs eighty concise strategies to help make teaching more effective.

This text offers practical information and vicarious practice for both beginning and veteran teachers to become more knowledgeable, skilled, and therefore effective in their work. The text explains to teachers why it is important to have an understanding of their students’ interests, styles of learning, and backgrounds in order to meet the unique needs of each individual student, and why having the ability to manage the learning environment, motivate students in the learning environment, and offer instruction is itself motivating and contributes to students learning what they need to acquire. It will help teachers develop their skills as instructional specialists, motivators, managers, and problem solvers in order to meet the expectations for their students. Stressed throughout the book is that teachers must find ways to teach their students in ways that students find interesting, relevant, engaging, and understandable, and that if students do not see what they are learning as interesting, if they do not recognize it as being relevant to their lives either now or in the future, if they are not meaningfully connected to it, and if they do not view it as being understandable to the degree that they can be successful, they will not achieve their greatest potentials. This book will help teachers to get their students to achieve at high levels in demonstrating what they have learned through the application of these intertwined areas of student motivation and classroom management, which are considered critical for best practice in teaching in classrooms today.
